¹² but ^(A)the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into ^(B)the outer darkness; in that place ^(C)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

⁹ Or ^(A)do you not know that the unrighteous will not ^(B)inherit the kingdom of God? ^(C)Do not be deceived; ^(D)neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor ^[a]homosexuals, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will ^(E)inherit the kingdom of God. ^11 (F)Such were some of you; but you were ^(G)washed, but you were ^(H)sanctified, but you were ^(I)justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and ^[b]in the Spirit of our God.

The Body Is the Lord’s

^12 (J)All things are permitted for me, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. ^13 (K)Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, however God will ^(L)do away with both ^[c]of them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but ^(M)for the Lord, and ^(N)the Lord is for the body. ¹⁴ Now God has not only ^(O)raised the Lord, but ^(P)will also raise us up through His power. ^15 (Q)Do you not know that ^(R)your bodies are parts of Christ? Shall I then take away the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute? ^[d](S)Far from it! ¹⁶ Or ^(T)do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “^(U)The two shall become one flesh.” ¹⁷ But the one who joins himself to the Lord is ^(V)one spirit with Him. ^18 (W)Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a person commits is outside the body, but the ^[e]sexually immoral person sins against his own body. ¹⁹ Or ^(X)do you not know that ^(Y)your body is a ^[f]temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from ^[g]God, and that ^(Z)you are not your own? ²⁰ For ^(AA)you have been bought for a price: therefore glorify God in ^(AB)your body.

¹⁹ Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: ^(A)sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, ²⁰ idolatry, ^(B)witchcraft, hostilities, ^(C)strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, ^(D)selfish ambition, dissensions, ^(E)factions, ²¹ envy, ^(F)drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not ^(G)inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But ^(H)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(I)love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, ^(J)self-control; against such things ^(K)there is no law. ²⁴ Now those who ^[a]belong to ^(L)Christ Jesus ^(M)crucified the flesh with its passions and ^(N)desires.

²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let’s follow ^(O)the Spirit as well. ²⁶ Let’s not become ^(P)boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.

^8 (A)But for the cowardly, and ^[a]unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral persons, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part will be in ^(B)the lake that burns with fire and ^[b]brimstone, which is the ^(C)second death.”
